Theme Changed
If you view my LJ through RSS feeds or view the content through your friends' pages, should you have your own LJ account, you would probably not notice this. Hence I figured I would let you know that the theme for my LJ has changed, just because I felt like changing it. I guess I am a bit like a television channel that way, that keeps [...]
Lazy Sunday Morning
Skimpy has come up with this super idea, which he has confessed to having borrowed from someone else who initially started it off. Its sort of a cheap guy's Bangalore walk, which native junta can partake, and I, for one, unforeseen circumstances not withstanding, shall join Skimpy. For more information, read here. If you're interested, sign up [...]
Casual Friday Seriousness
Having been in the IT industry for a certain period of time, I've been a passive bystander to a sizeable number of events and occurrences that baffle me beyond any level of comprehension, while providing me with ample fodder to sit and write posts about, simply because I get major kicks out of using my keyboard for purposes other than sending out [...]
MP/MLA transfers

However, there is a new thing that I have to add to that list. I've found out that I am mortally petrified of being stuck in a traffic jam. This came about due to [...]
Am I smarter than a 5th Grader?
I should most certainly hope so. However, come to think of it, there is not much that I do that would entail me to make that claim. Regardless, in the entire course of events, my love for the television has been rekindled by the whole channel rearrangement fiasco, as I now don't have to sit and bother about which channel to tune into. My look-up [...]
A Tribute to my Landline
On sunday, the 6th of April, the land line rang at our house, and for a minute everyone was startled at having heard a noise that was so distinctively familiar, but at the same time, was something that hadn't been heard for so long that it sounded unusual all the same. It was similar to listening to the voice of an old friend, but after he'd hit [...]
